Laurie Agnello, LMHC, CASAC

Licensed Mental Health Counselor/ CASAC, MsED, NCC

As a school based counselor in Wayne and Monroe counties, for many years I had the opportunity to counsel young children, adolescents and teens individually and in a group setting. At the high school level I have taught a class in several high schools called "Reconnecting Youth." This class addressed academics, drug use and social skills. In a high school setting students were seen for counseling to address concerns of self esteem, anger, drug use, bullying and various other issues and concerns. I have counseling children K-12th grade with family issues including having a family member who had a drug addiction.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor

You as parents are the most important people in your child's life. When a child is struggling, you often don't know where to turn. I specialize in assisting children in distress by working with the child's parents, not directly with the child. I can provide you with the support that you need while you learn how to be more effective parents and deal with your conflicted emotions. I can help you to turn things around by teaching you how to set boundaries, identify logical consequences, and maintain consistency. When you change your behaviors, your child's will change as a result. Life will become calmer and your child's emotional well-being will improve.

Do you have children that are acting out behaviorally? Has your child or young loved one suffered from a trauma they are not fully able to understand? Or perhaps you have noticed a marked shift in your child's emotions. Reach out to help your child today. I am here to evaluate the source of changes in your child and build trust and connection with them that will allow them to learn new ways of coping. Once evaluated I connect them with one of the three child/parent experts on my team where several modes of therapy will be utilized. This ensures a strong therapeutic match. Art therapy, Play therapy, and Family therapy are just the beginning. Affordability is our priority for families as well.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, National Certified Counselor

I work with children ages 13+ for anxiety and depression. Private therapy is not a recommended setting for children with risk of harm to self or others (a clinic setting with more supports and more hours than I offer would be the recommendation). For teens with general anxiety, social anxiety, and depression, therapy can help provide the support and validation needed to be able to improve self talk, thought patterns, and mood.
